"Student Impact" is the student newspaper for the University of Bath, England.

History and format

"Student Impact" was created from the merger of two former publications at the University of Bath, "Spike" and "Sponge". Sponge was the University of Bath Students' Union paper, which had been running for the previous 30 years, while Spike was a student run magazine concentrating mainly on film, music and book reviews. In December 1999, following controversy over an article in Sponge entitled "How to stuff your bird at Christmas", the Students' Union took the decision to stop the publication of Sponge. Spike had been struggling from a lack of contributors and funding for some time. The Students' Union Media and Communications Officer, Peter Secchi, together with founding Editor Arthur Lewis, put out the first issue of Impact on February 14 2000.

Currently, the paper runs on a fortnightly basis, with a print run of 2,000.

The newspaper is split up into six sections, News, Comment, Features, Science, Entertainments and Sport. It is produced on a voluntary basis by the 10 editors and over 100 contributors.

Student Media Awards

The online site for Student Impact, impact Online (created by Ben Braine), was shortlisted in 2003 for the Student Website of the year award at the Guardian Student Media Awards. In the same year the Impact team scooped the "Student Activity of the Year Award" at their own University of Bath Students' Union's Societies Awards.

In 2008, Impact was nominated for the "Best Overall Society" Award at The Societies Awards Evening 2008, held in the Pump Rooms and Roman Baths. They were beaten by the Backstage Technical Services society. Impact's nomination video can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_07Q2xWrP-s here]

University Awards

Since 1994, the University of Bath has been awarding The Chancellor's Prize to the best final year student at the University. In 2004, this was awarded to Tom Vincent, a previous Editor in Chief. The following year, Heather Mackenzie, a former Sports Editor for the paper, took the award.In 2008, it was awarded to Jack Mitchell, the Editor in Chief at the time. Part of the information released by the University stated "As Editor-in-Chief of the Students' Union newspaper Impact and contributor to the general management of the Students' Union, he was acknowledged to have played an important part in the general life of the University."
